We performed a comparison between Azure Backup and N-able Cove Data Protection based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like the product's restoration cases."
"I have no issues with the stability at all. So I don't necessarily care about the stability of the product. I look more at whether or not can I recover. And I haven't had a failed recovery yet. I've got no failed recoveries of all my years."
"The most valuable feature is the ease in which it backs up our data."
"Setting up Azure Backup is straightforward and the total deployment time was about a month."
"Azure Backup is good because it is entirely cloud-based, which means that you can be 99.9% sure that your backup is safe."
"It offers seamless integration."
"The tool has a lot of features."
"The hardware is always updated and it's saved us a lot of money."
"The monitoring makes it very easy to check whether a backup has gone bad."
"The initial setup of N-able Cove Data Protection was very easy."
"The ease of use and the console are great."
"It's extremely important that Cove provides cloud-based data protection with backup, disaster recovery, and archiving. That is a necessity for my insurance. As an IT company, my insurance would cost more if my backups were not offsite and off-network."
"For starters, this is one of few databases that allow us to backup MySQL databases, most others only support Microsoft SQL. This solution also has a very user-friendly interface accessed through a web browser. Additionally, backups can be easily configured through N-able Backup."
"I know I won't have an issue if the data is there. The reliability and the confidence that we have is amazing. It doesn't matter. We've had customers have ransomware. We've had customers that have had corruption. We've had customers that have had employees destroy their data. As long as it's been backed up, I know that I can get it back and I know I have nothing to worry about. Our confidence level is very high."
"The ability to back up, restore, and do different types of testing for the preventative maintenance has really increased our importance to these clients because they see the value in how fast we can get them back up and running. We're saving them money in that way."
"One of the bigger features and advantages of the solution is that it is easy to integrate with my RMM which is also N-able."
"The product could improve its performance."
"The solution is still in its infancy; it's not a mature product yet."
"The tool's backup should be faster. Azure Backup's support should be faster."
"The Azure Backup support for on-premises service is limited."
"The integration with the record database and integration with other applications will be good, especially with the database piece."
"In the next release, I would like to see the ability to back up to different cloud providers."
"It still does not have a lot of customization, especially if your workloads are not in Azure."
"I would like to see better integration with more products, and more services."
"There could be a possibility to create a local NAS backup for infrastructure."
"A disaster recovery console would be an improvement for the product."
"For the MSP side, they could have more of a "security user" that can go in and only see certain clients. If you give somebody access as a technician, they can see all the clients."
"I have some issues with the agent failing on workstations. I've had to completely uninstall several of them, delete everything, and start over to get them to work."
"The recovery side, the restore side, could be a little more optimized."
"The one thing they don't are Linux servers, it's Windows only. I understand that directive. I have another product that I use for our Linux servers and stuff, but it would be nice if they had that flexibility on the Linux side. I understand the development and the world is geared towards Windows in 365, I know that's where the clienteles are and the business and the money is."
"N-able Cove Data Protection for Microsoft 365 is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"One area I don't like has to do with the agent that goes on the system... if a system stays offline for some length of time, say for a week or so, I may have to go back in and reinstall the agent to get it back in business. I don't know what's causing that."
